We have stayed here 2 years in row and will be back for a third. Pools are clean, good size, place close to main strip, a nice stroll especially in evenings, and 2 mins to 4 mile beach. Rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. Staff always friendly. Our favourites to do - morning swim and arvo tennis. See you later... More

The Mantra Portsea still has the wow factor even after several visits. Where other resorts have declined over the years the Portsea has still been maintained to a high standard including the service provided by the staff. On arrival we realised we’d requested the wrong apartment, nothing was too much trouble and we were able to move into our apartment... More

We had a 1 Bedroom Apartment with a huge balcony. From the start everything was great. Helpful staff, clean room and great pool area. The... More

Our family of five (2 adults, 3 kids; 5, 3 and 7 months) stayed at the PortSea from 13th May - 18th May 2012. We found the first floor studio room with connecting bedroom cosy and while functional, disappointing in its up keep. The room was borderline grotty and we asked for the rooms to be recleaned upon arrival. The... More

I stayed at the Mantra PortSea from 25th March - 1st April 2012 on a girls' trip with my mum. We stayed in a room on the 2nd level overlooking the pool. The property itself has a lovely atmosphere with a Mediterrannean feel. The rooms surround the large lagoon pool. The pool was always nice and clean and a very... More

Hello Ness-of-Sydney Thank you for taking the time to write a review of Mantra Portsea. The black beetles this year were incredible weren't they. The tropics are fascinating for wildlife and this year for about a week the black beetles were everywhere. It is an annual occurance in March and quite an experience - many photos were taken by visitors... More

The Portsea offers great value for money. The pool area with swim-up bar is a real drawcard! The cocktails were fantastic! The service from staff was great, especially Sonya at reception-she was friendly, knowledgeable and professional and she is clearly an asset to the hospitality business. Breakfast is held in one big room-get there early to avoid the rush and... More

We stayed here in November 2011 and enjoyed it immensely. We stayed in a pool view one bedroom apartment which was great. It was nice having all the amenities to use such as fridge, stove etc just in case you wanted to eat in instead of going out. The pool is lovely and so is the swim up pool bar.... More

Hello Emma and Mark Thank you for taking the time to write a review on Mantra Portsea. We really appreciate your comments about the resort and Port Douglas. November is a hotter month but you probably discovered that all the tropical flowers were out and the town was swathed in a garland of beautiful colours. The poinciana, the frangipani and... More
